So I just got done with my clutch this last weekend. My friend and I took it out for a spin and we were listening to the car. We started hearing this buzzing noise whenever my car went under boost. Looking under the hood I saw the hose that went from the intake manifold to the engine just above the headers was melted on the headers. I figure I lost oil enough to starve the turbo.

Due to it being old and that, I figure its a bad turbo. On my way to school the car was smoking a bit under boost today, so im going to need a new turbo.

I need to know if anyone has a turbo. I have a kouki x wing or a brand new(never opened) excedy ca18det clutch to trade.

Let me know if you have one. An sr20 turbo or a ca18 turbo. I jsut need on bad.
